Big news - our revised Community Standards are finally online. Please access them on the footer of the page, towards the right-hand edge.....
The main point of differentiation between NYYFans and most other sports forums is the sense of community that has been fostered here, since our site was founded many years ago. In order to maintain this atmosphere, we must hold posters to certain basic expectations when participating here.....
To this end, we will be conducting a relaunch of our...

Since there have been a couple queries about message boards for other teams in the past couple days, I thought it might be useful to have some sort of list of good fan sites around the MLB.
My goal is to have only two or three sites per team--it's not meant to include every forum out there. I also prefer to post forum sites over blogs, although if a blog has a game thread or is really, really good, I'll include it. Thanks for all the suggestions!
Edit: Updated on 8/3/11-- New input...

The following announcement is specific for the Yankees, but tickets to all MLB games, in additon to all other sporting, concert, or show events are also available. Check out http://tickets.nyyfans.com to see if we have tickets to the event you're looking for.

So you want to see the Yankees, ay? Are you frustrated by the lack of quality seats available from the Yankees Box Office or Ticketmaster, don't want to take out a second mortgage to buy...

I decided to start a Mets thread because there have been a collection of smaller Mets threads in ATM and I think it would be best if we just had a larger thread to cover all things Mets.
Two things about them strike me today...
1. Pelfry looked pretty good last night.
2. I have a feeling the Mets fans across the nation are beginning to sweat a little bit because right now the Braves are mashing.
Ok. Go ahead, start discussing.

Now that the Community Standards are back online, we can re-start a discussion of the Red Sox. As per those Standards, any posting in this thread must be done in a civil manner. That means a genuine discussion without baiting, trolling, flaming or mocking using words or pictures etc. That doesn't mean you can't state your opinions of a player or the team, but do it in a respectful manner. Repeated warnings for those who don't comply will result in the loss of access to the Around the Majors...

Basically they have proven that the ball is different in a variety of ways and that the change occurred in 2015.
Wonder what everyone thinks of this?

The Mets just signed Todd Frazier to a two $17 million deal. Since he made $13 million last year, the Mets got him at a good discount. I liked Frazier, a NJ homeboy. Given David Wrights health Problems Todd should provide good insurance at third.
Way to go Todd. I wish you well

“The past is the past, I mean I have to learn from my experiences. It was my first time though, I mean nothing is going to be perfect, nothing is going to be great as always, but at the very end we came up on top and that’s all that mattered. I am just going to learn from my experience and make the best out of it,”-Ken Giles

What a joke.
While Roger Clemens, Mike Mussina, and Curt Schilling will be sitting on the outside looking in, Jack Morris and Trevor Hoffman will be inducted this summer. This is supposed o be about baseball’s biggest stars. Really?

I was just looking at Roy Halladay's career numbers earlier today, and I can't imagine him having the credentials to make the HOF unless he can keep this up for 4-6 more years.
He is perceived to be one of the best pitchers in the game, which I completely agree with. His numbers are falling a little short for the HOF voters though.
He is entering his age 32 season and he only has 131 wins with a career 3.52 ERA and 1287 K's in roughly 1800 innings. He has 1 Cy Young award and has finished...

Every day, for every game, 30 teams basically have 21 players that can play. There are 4 starting pitchers that won't play.
Why won't the rules allow the teams to use those extra 4 spots for that day's game? Maybe a couple of extra relievers or bench players would add some strategy and/or excitement to the game that day.
I'd love to see each and every team roster have more flexibility during extra innings or be able to take advantage of its own strengths.
Am I missing something here?...
